NI Bills Fan

Don't dare try to tell me I haven't put in the work on this draft class. I did not 1 but 2 mock drafts online last week and picked guys I'd never heard of because their name sounded cool. I know my sh1t. 😄

Thanks OP. I listened to the episode earlier (audio only) so it's good to actually see the board 👍

The Bills have signed veteran offensive lineman La'el Collins to a one-year deal with a cap hit of $1,580,000. We now have more details about those contract terms thanks to Over The Cap. https://overthecap.com/player/lael-collins/4105 This is simply a one year deal for $1.58 mllion, with $1.21 million guaranteed and a $290,000 signing bonus. There are up to $5M in incentives that will only apply to the 2025 salary cap (not the 2024 cap) if Collins achieves specific starts, snap counts & games played milestones.

This makes a nice change from the usual dynamic on this show that I see, which is Florio talking for a few minutes making a point, then Simms opening with "you're absolutely right Mike, you said it perfectly..." then clumsily regurgitating Florio's arguement. I can barely watch that show due to that constantly happening. Good to see Simms have an opposing arguement for a change and be passionate about defending it.

I don't envy him when it's time to call Ruke Orhorhoro!

I agree to an extent and like the positivity, but find it hard to agree on the D Line and safety positions, we need a pass rush threat at DE (to replace Floyd) and a bit more at safety before I could say we've actually improved there.

The explanation could be that reading this thread is Digg's favourite off-season pastime and it's more entertaining for him if he fuels it every now and again. I don't read into it all too much, but it is tiresome... Best to ignore the dude I think and hope he shows up in the summer with the right mindset and without any drama.

Any idea on contract value for Dodson as yet? Or on Tim Settle's deal with the Texans? I haven't seen any. (To help with comp pick projections)

Hopefully we'll get the chance to see what a D with a fully fit DQ, along with Milano, Bernard, Benford a fit Douglas, a better Von and 1 or 2 new younger guys at the safety position can do against KC in the playoffs. I don't normally like pointing to injuries as an excuse but the D against KC in the divisional round was absolutely ravaged.

Did we? I didn't see it. I must have pulled out early!

No way BB takes a coordinator role ... even less chance he takes a DC role with a team who already has a defensive minded head coach who will want a significant say in the running of the D.

Either NFC team winning it sits better with me. Preferably the Lions. I don't want to see another AFC QB winning the superbowl before Josh Allen.

This is the first season that my eldest son (15) has really got interested in the NFL and sat down with me to watch games. I didn't force the Bills on him (just used suttle mind control 😄), and let him make his own mind up on which team to follow. Thankfully he is all in on the Bills and we have really enjoyed the ups and downs of this season together... I stupidly thought that this father son bonding is what the football gods had been waiting for all along before allowing the Bills to win it all. Obviously not the case! Anyway, the point I wanted to make was that at low points this season, including Sunday night, I was conscious that I didn't want to (at least outwardly) show too much negative emotion (I can take Bills losses hard sometimes 😞 ) in front of my son... Not that I mind him seeing me like that on occasion, but to try and 'train' a more healthier response to sporting defeat for him and to try and help him enjoy the sport rather than let it competely dictate your mood. Worth a go anyway... Over time he'll likely end up the same as me.

Absolutely... But only 47.3% of the time unfortunately!
